A Steam-based test of the Metro: Last Light Redux game.
The benchmark tool allowed us to create our own graphics quality presets. In total we went with nine major tests covering three resolutions and three quality settings. We tested Metro: Last Light. Metro Redux Benchmark Download. Last week - remastered versions of the classic Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light coming soon to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. We compared the new editions to the original console versions, noting some remarkable differences - not least the impressive boosts to both physical and temporal resolution.
This test profile assumes you have the Valve Steam client already installed for your operating system / distribution and that it's installed to the standard path. Your Steam account must also be active and the game already installed. If the test appears hung you may need to manually exit the Steam client.
To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark metroll-redux.

Performance Metrics
Analyze Test Configuration:Metro: Last Light Redux
Resolution: 1920 x 1080
OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 641 public results since 23 October 2016 with the latest data as of 23 May 2021.
Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.
Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (Metro: Last Light Redux - Resolution: 1920 x 1080) has an average run-time of 2 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 3 times but may increase if the standard deviation exceeds pre-defined defaults or other calculations deem additional runs necessary for greater statistical accuracy of the result.
Based on public OpenBenchmarking.org results, the selected test / test configuration has an average standard deviation of 0.2%.

Graphics (VGA) performance Recording Level and IQ settings
Before we begin with the graphics performance tests a little explanation. The graphics options are very detailed allowing for significant scaling across systems. V Sync can be turned off but we recommend to leave it on. In Last Light, 4A's textures are predominantly 2048 pixels wide by 2048 pixels high, double the resolution of textures in many of today's best-looking games. Using these 2048x2048 textures at range creates highly detailed distance views, and up-close with the introduction of a second 2048x2048 texture the visual quality of surfaces skyrockets, hence we really want you to use Very High Quality mode.
Here's what was adjustable:
- SSAA Anti-aliasing
- Texture detail
- Texture Filtering
- V-sync
- Tesselation
- Motion Blur
Our Graphics test mode : DX11 - Very High Image Quality settings
The mode used today is Very HIGH as even mid-range cards will be capable of managing the game pretty well at 1920x1200. We enable 16xAF and leave motion blur and tesselation at normal.

- Our test setup is based on Intel X79 (MSI Big bang XPower II) with 8 GB of DDR3 ( Corsair 1600 MHz) memory. The processor is a Core i7 3960X clocked at 4600 MHz.
- We use Windows 7 64-bit SP1 all patched up. Each card runs on the same PC with the same operating system clone. GeForce cards use the latest 320.14 WHQL drivers (download) and for AMD Radeon graphics cards we used the latest 13.5 Beta build 2 driver (download). Both NVIDIA and AMD have released these drivers being optimized for Crysis 3.
Let's head onwards to the next page where we'll look at the performance.
